Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s defense secretary pick, is scheduled to meet with the Republican Study Committee in a closed-door meeting on Wednesday, as confirmed by a source familiar with the matter. This meeting is part of a series of discussions he is having with GOP senators, who will ultimately vote on his confirmation next year.
It is important to note that House members do not have a direct role in the confirmation process of nominees for cabinet positions. The focus remains on the Senate, where the decision on Hegseth's confirmation will be made.
